EB-ED owners embraced that sht.
Then everyone started saying it and it got gay.

Box + Car

Just a boring fact, XD-XF's don't have one flat panel on them, they all taper slightly, just to make seemingly easy panel repairs a PITA.

I've always found panels with 'shape' in them easier to repair...dead flat panels tend to stretch, and have high spots, leading to heat shrinking and arrghh!
